The Cellular Receptor Restoration Method Can Transform Your Life
Most people are told that diabetes is not reversible. Yet research shows that even with advanced type 2 diabetes, recovery is possible. As Dr. Mark Hyman explains:
“A groundbreaking study showed unequivocally that even people with advanced Type 2 diabetes CAN recover.”
Our step-by-step functional medicine program addresses the root causes of high blood sugar and insulin resistance, helping you:
- Lower A1C levels
- Reduce inflammation

Why Functional Medicine Works for Diabetes
Conventional care often means adding oral agents and steadily increasing insulin doses. But this approach does not address the root cause of diabetes.
Functional medicine takes a different path:
- Personalized testing to uncover what drives your blood sugar imbalance
- Targeted nutrition to reduce cravings and optimize metabolism
- Lifestyle interventions that improve insulin sensitivity
- Whole-person care to support your emotional and physical wellbeing
By focusing on cellular health, we empower your body to restore balance and sustain long-term results.
Over 37 million Americans live with diabetes, and nearly 1 in 3 don’t know they have it.
Lifestyle interventions can cut the risk of diabetes progression by 58%, according to the CDC.
Weight loss of just 10% can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity.
You are not alone—and there is a proven path forward.
